Washing machine moter

I have a whirlpool 60 hz moter # 3363736, I pulled from a washer to make another tool. I neglected to get the schematics from the machine. Can you tell me by color code the positive negitive and ground, so I can hook it up????? thanks.amarnaud@mindspring.com

No scematic for hp 1/2 volts 115 amps hz 60 rpm 1725/1140 I am unable to wire it to run as it is thermally protected . it over heats and cuts out . There is a black wire,a white with a black stripe,a brown wire, a blue,a yellow ,and a white wire that goes into a small black box then out . there could be twenty five diferent combinations some for clockwise some counter clockwise . I would be happy just to go any direction without heating up . How do I wire it .

I want to use the same motor but could use a schematic diagram to wire it. From my searches it is a single phase, two speed motor used in kenmore washers. It has a centrifical switch and a capacitor with a thermal overload switch. It is also used by Whirlpool and I think it is made by them or some company related to them known as FSP. Any help would be appreciated. Someone must have a diagram of this motor.

Green is ground, white is neutral, red/black is usually hot on a 1 phase 110-120v motor. (normal colors are black, white, green).
if three phase, (208-220v), green is ground, white, is neutral, black/red/blue are hot. (only uses 2 of these, so there should only be a total of 4 wires). once you have the wiring connected, turn on the motor, and check the rotation direction it turns. if it turns backwards, reverse the red/black wires, the red/white wires, or the black/white wires.

be sure you look at the data plate on the motor to determine one or three phase motor.
their should be a small diagram of which wire inside go to which other wires inside on a three phase motor and for which voltage, and are usually numbered on the individual wire.
good luck.

Michael, I too am looking for the same as you for my Whirlpool 8.5kg WFE1485BD. Similar machine as yours but newer. I need the schematic diagram to see how the door interlock switch works. Your problem sounds like that as well, have you tried manually working the switch with door open and checking with an ohmmeter? Does your machine give a door open warning light? I have pulled my door switch out and disassembled it but can't work out which contacts get switched. Please email me if you find a service schematic and I will do the same: steelwheels7@gmail.com

Just as a wild guess, the control circuit in the washer may not work with 60 Hz shipboard power. The motor probably is not affected. You must be getting awfully tired of hauling that washer back and forth!

I have the same problem: new drain pump, impeller needs to be "kicked" to start reciprocating (which, of course, is not possible once installed). Drain pump is listed as 50 Hz (UK), though I am in US (60 Hz) - could that make any difference?
